Texas Tech head coach Mark Adams has stepped down from his position three days after being suspended for a verbal exchange with a player, the school announced Wednesday.
Adams was suspended ahead of Texas Tech's Big 12 tournament opener after the school said it learned of an incident in a coaching session when Adams tried to encourage a student-athlete to be more receptive to coaching by quoting a Bible verse about workers, teachers, parents and slaves serving their masters.
The school said Adams immediately apologized to the team, but was issued a written reprimand and suspended as Texas Tech looked into the matter.
